Welcome to Annapolis!

We do hope you will visit!

Annapolis is a beautiful town. Gracious historic buildings, brick streets and a view of the Chesapeake Bay await you.

McBride Gallery is at the top of Main Street near Church Circle - see the building icon with the red roof on the map.

Driving and Parking Directions:

Watch for one-way streets, there are lots of them, but the circles are wonderful - if you miss your street exit, just go around again!

If you come in off Route 50 onto Rowe Blvd, stay on it all the way to College Avenue and make a right toward Church Circle. Follow Church Circle around to Duke of Gloucester Street, making a right turn off the circle. This is a 2-lane one-way street. To park in the Hillman Garage, stay in the left lane. The Hillman Garage is a left turn just after you go through the light at Conduit Street.

If you miss the turn, continue to Green Street (one way), turn left and continue to Main Street. Turn left on Main Street and the next left will let you enter the Hillman Garage on the lower level.

Other Parking information:

Best kept parking secret:
Annapolis has a new garage - The Bladen Street Garage, is accessed from St. Johns Street next to St. Johns College. Come in on Rowe Blvd, stay in the left lane, just after you pass the right fork to Calvert Street, is a light, turn left at the light, go a short block to St. Johns Street, go left , the garage is on your left. The entrance is at the far end. Only legislators and state workers may use it during the week. It is FREE on weekends and evenings (6pm to 6am) for the rest of us. My map above does not show this garage. Here is a link for a good detailed Annapolis City map for all Garages and Bus routes. The Bladen Street Garage is the Red #10 on the city map.

You may park on Main Street - Parking Meters allow for 2 hours (some are 30 minute) but the meter maids are efficient and we recommend garages to avoid tickets and have peace of mind. The garages are only $1.25 an hour. Besides the Hillman Garage situated between Main Street and Duke of Gloucester, the Gotts Court Garage is the next nearest one to Main Street. Access it from Calvert Street or Northwest Street. If you pull into the garages after 4pm until 6am the next morning, it is only $4 to park the whole night. Meters need to be fed from 10am - 7:30pm every day, Sundays feed them from 12 - 7pm.

Picking something up? Or unloading something large?

At the top of Main Street on the left side in front of the Maryland Inn is a loading zone for all of upper Main Street - this includes you - 15 minutes allowed. The Treaty of Paris Restaurant is in the Maryland Inn - their fresh popovers and cornbread are legendary.

Call us from the road if you get lost or the garages are full, we can direct you to another garage.
